BANGALORE: Rahul Dravid is up for sale. Yes, the cricketing legend has put himself up for auction in support of a cause.

The highest bidding corporate will get an interactive session with Dravid, besides a personalized and framed cricket bat. The proceeds will go to Karunashraya, an organization run by Bangalore Hospice Trust that provides free palliative care for cancer patients beyond cure.

In the Joy of Giving Week, Dravid has presented several pieces of prized personal memorabilia to Karunashraya, including a signed bat and his India jersey which will be auctioned to donors in the lead-up to, and on, World Hospice Day (Oct 13).

"Karunashraya's effort is commendable and its team has touched the lives of thousands of people. I am appreciative of its efforts in providing dignity to life when there is little else left," Dravid said in a statement.

For donor passes, call Karunashraya on 080-42685666 or 080-28476133.

Struggling for runs in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa, under-fire Suresh Raina has got the much-needed backing of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Anurag Thakur rubbished the questions raised on the captainship of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, after team India’s three consecutive defeat against Australia.

For the third time in six days, an Indian century has resulted in a loss. Only this time, the unfortunate man was Virat Kohli. His 24th century was a special one, but then it just wasn't enough to prevent a punchy innings from Glenn Maxwell, whose unbeaten knock of 96 helped Australia gun down their highest target at the MCG and capture the VB series.
